Rumors of the mysterious and
frightful occurrences of the night in
the Lobdell House flew fast and thick
through the town all the day. The
fame of the spread abroad over the
sandy peninsula. and for the time
there was hardly any other topic in the
minds or upon the tongues of men and
women. Groups of people, old, mid
dle-aged, youth, boys and girls gath
cred upon the streets at respectful
distance from the old house, and gaz-
ing in awe at it. spoke in low tones
and with bated breath of the last
rumors about it. In the terror and dis
tress in which Mrs. Willis and Helen
had that morning abandoned their
part of it, they had left the hall-door
open. No man venturcd to go up and
close 1t. Helen sadly needed the arti-
Giles of dress and toilet which she had
packed in her trunk the night before,
and Mrs. Willis wanted her own ward
robe; but the man who was bold
enough TO enter those rooms was not
to be found in Province.own. The
more pressing needs of the ladies were

these things; but l fancy that old

After silence of some minutes, one
of the old men remarked;

hrs. Willis was drowsily conscious
that the clock was striking twelve.
Her sleep was not sound for the next
hour; the intelligence of her husband $
safety and the perplexing events of the
afternoon and evening would not per-
nit the unbroken slumber that she
craved and needed.
But the soundest sleeper would have
been aroused by the frightful disturb
ance that rung through the house be-
fore the clock struck again. Even her
daughter, sunk in the profound rest of
youth, health. and innocence, by her
side, was instantly startled to wakeful-
ness by IL.
A long-drawn cry, pealing out as
though voicing the lowest depths of
agony and remorse! 1t rose and fell
and died away, leaving the very
silence that succeeded horrible.
1t was surely from somewhere in the
house, and surely not near by. Loud
rs II was, distinct rs it was. there was
something about it that suggested that
walls and shut doors were between.
The two women sat up, but said
nothing. Their arms were about each
other; terror kept them silent. They
listened in almost breathless suspense.
The door between their chamber and
the sitting-room was wide open; that
leading into the hall was ajar. From
this hall as well rs from that above, all
doors OF communication with the old
part Of the house had been closed and
barred. This Mrs. Willis remembered
in the hours of terror that followed,
and she derived some little courage
from the thought.
Again that cry-or rather, this time,
a hooking yell, ending with a loud and
discordant cha! har'
It was unquestionably nearer than
the other; it sounded as though it
might have come from one of the near
est rooms of the old part on the Sec
ond floor.
These two women were MS brave rs
heir sex is ever expected TO be; but
hcse dcmoniac noises. coming in the
- '""" Of the night, filled their
very souls with terror. The man who
at the place and time could have heard
them without fear and trembling is
stronger than the most of his sex.

whispered. ave can't stay here. o

1t was great clanking of chains, in
termingled with yells and oaths, wind
ing up with two pistol-shots in rapid
succession.
Mrs. Willis sprang up and bolted the
door leading into the hall. Helen lit a
candle with trembling fingers; and
both, hastily dressed, sat holding

llands, and aAIpsrIng In sIlenoe.

Until tardy daylight came they SAT
thus: except that once, when the weird
noises swelled and waved in deeper
volume of imprecations and blasphem-
les, Mrs. Willis opened the great Bible
on the stand, the precious family heir
loom that was on the MayHower when
she anchored off the coast where
Provincetown stands--and placed her
her hands upon it pages, as If invok-
ing its protection against the fiends
that were raging through the house.
Once Helen raised the curtain and
looked out of the window, The night
had grown foggy and dark.
LET us slip out at the back door.
mother" she whispered. 1--WE can
run over to Mrs. Tryon's, and get
away from this awful place"
Mrs. Willis half rose from her chair.
A heavy step sounded on the stair.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, came the foot
falls down to the hall-tramp, tramp.
